Greetings Earthlings,
This year, I have decided, will be the year that I start reading properly again. I have basically grown up on reading, most of my family have always read and it's just been something I picked up along the way. I've always loved the escape that reading provided but over the years I have stopped doing it as much. Not because I hate it or anything but because English literature kind of made be stop enjoying it as much, I loved the subject don't get me wrong, but there was something kind of tedious about reading and analysing every single word so it put me off.
Now I do psychology at uni so I don't have to analyse every word as the truth is I don't understand most of them, I am 100% referring to my statistics textbook (we don't get along), so in my free time I'm going to start reading again and escaping the real world. I decided to do a to be read list to give me something to aim for throughout the year, I also keep typing to bread list and thought that was relevant enough to share with you.
*drum roll please*...
PRIDE AND PREJUDICE - JANE AUSTEN
This has been on my 18 things to do at 18 list for quite a while (obviously considering I'm 19 at the beginning of March...) and I have started reading it so I guess I'm kind of cheating a bit by putting this on here but oh well, rebel. Anyway, it's a proper classic so this is definitely high on my to be read list.
THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS - THOMAS HARRIS
Mamma Mia may be the absolute top of my favourite film list however this is not far behind, bit of a contrast I know but oh well. I bought the book in Meadowhall a few weeks back purely because I love the film, so I hope it lives up to expectations.
BRIDGET JONES - HELEN FIELDING
Growing up I love the Confessions of Georgia Nicolson book by Louise Rennison (if you aren't aware it's basically the book version of Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging another top feel good film), so when I got a bit older I was interested in reading Bridget Jones, I've read the first one and really enjoyed it so the rest of them are sat on my bookshelf just waiting.
1984 - GEORGE ORWELL
This has been on my to be read list for quite a while, so this year I'm getting around to doing it.
THE GIRL ON THE TRAIN - PAULA HAWKINS
I'm not going to lie I have no idea what this is about but I will have a stab in the dark to assume it is about a girl on a train, and that alone encouraged me to buy the book, so it has sat there pretty on my bookshelf just waiting.
I'm going to leave it at a list of 5 even though there's technically more with all the Bridger Jones so that should keep me going for quite a while.
Until next week,
